"power sites designated by the President."" This was presented by the news media as ""guns and butter."" Perhaps the best known use of the phrase (in translation) was in Nazi Germany. In a speech on January 17, 1936, Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels stated: ""We can do without butter, but, despite all our love of peace, not without arms. One cannot shoot with butter, but with guns."" Referencing the same concept, sometime in the summer of the same year another Nazi official, Hermann Göring, announced in a speech: ""Guns will make us powerful; butter will only make us fat."" US"

This phrase as the title for an episode (""Guns Not Butter"") in season four of the television show ""The West Wing"" (1999–2006) that focused on the portion of the federal budget devoted to foreign aid. The concept was also discussed in the 2001 movie Baby Boy. The concept is referenced in the title of the song ""Gunz n Butter"" on ""A$AP Rocky""'s 2018 album ""TESTING""."
"President Lyndon B. Johnson used the phrase to catch the attention of the national media while reporting on the state of national defense and the economy. Another use of the phrase was British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's statement, in a 1976 speech she gave at a Kensington Town Hall, in which she said, ""The Soviets put guns over butter, but we put almost everything over guns."" The song ""Guns Before Butter"" by Gang of Four from their 1979 album ""Entertainment!"" is about this concept.

An article in the July 27, 1984 issue of the conservative magazine ""National Review"" found it plausible that the book was not more popular because of Seuss' promotion of a theme of ""moral equivalence"", where the difference between the Soviet Union and the United States was equivalent to a disagreement over the proper side on which to butter bread.

The book's premise is about the war that is fuelled by the different viewpoints of how one should butter their bread. The Yooks and Zooks constantly try to build better weaponry to scare the enemy, which is a clear correlation to the arms race. The book's message is that the arms race could be avoided if the trivial misunderstanding of ""which side of bread is to be buttered,"" could just be let go, which would lead to each side not"

"way the world may live? Guns versus butter model In macroeconomics, the guns versus butter model is an example of a simple production–possibility frontier. It demonstrates the relationship between a nation's investment in defense and civilian goods. In this example, a nation has to choose between two options when spending its finite resources. It may buy either guns (invest in defense/military) or butter (invest in production of goods), or a combination of both. This may be seen as an analogy for choices between defense and civilian spending in more complex economies. The ""guns or butter"" model is used generally as"

"that a diet which included large amounts of butter, lard, eggs, and beef would lead to coronary heart disease. This resulted in the American government recommending that people adopt a low-fat diet in order to prevent heart disease. Keys had concluded that saturated fats as found in milk and meat have adverse effects, while unsaturated fats found in vegetable oils had beneficial effects. This message was obscured for a 20-year period starting around 1985, when all dietary fats were considered unhealthy. This was driven largely by the hypothesis that all dietary fats cause obesity and cancer. A 2015 systematic review"

Also, they are very long sustaining, and help keep blood sugar at a steady level. On top of that, these fats help brain function as well.
